The Scorpion AS 3+ is the latest version. Gets excellent ratings and mostly good reviews.

Sorry, my mistake. I missed that the OP was looking for 20" tires. Sky is the limit with these. There is nothing for 21s.

OP, I doubt you would really notice a significant gas mileage change by using the Michelin CrossClimiate2 (I certainly have not). I would also much rather have good grip than save a little on gas mileage (especially since I drive my 45e in electric mode most of the time).

Overall the Michelin CrossClimate2 is an excellent tire, gets very good tread life (~45k in real world use), gets great snow / ice traction for an AS tire, and gets pretty good grip in the wet and dry for an AS tire. It does make a bit of a whirrling sound sometimes, but you can't really notice it and I don't don't mind it at all, but some people don't like it. The sound proofing on the X5 is pretty good though compared to some other cars.

However, I see that you are in Florida. I doubt you see much ice, snow, or temperatures below 45F. This means I think that you could run a summer tire. Summer tires typically don't get as good of thread life, but their dry / wet performance can be incredible compared to all season tires. I have not tried them personally yet, but I would look at the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 max performance summer tires. They were released in mid 2022, so pretty new tire. The dry and wet grip is suppose to be incredible. They do make the 20" tires for the X5. I am planning on getting some installed on my car in the next month to use in Arizona. Firestone carries them, but they said they have to order them. I will still use the Michelin CrossCLimate2 in the in the winter time, just because I take frequent ski trips back to Colorado. The Pilot Sport 5 should take your car's sportiness to a whole another level.

Costco also has the 20" Pilot Sport 5 tire (275/45ZR20/XL) available.

They quoted me $1213.92 total for installation of all 4 tires and disposal of old tires (includes all taxes / fees) and includes road hazard. The tires themselves come with a 30,000 mile tread warranty. I will have installed in early May and will report back on their performance on my 2023 X5 45e.

Here is some good information about the tire as it compares to the well known Michelin Pilot Sport 4S:
